How true are the words of your poem? A lot is said in just a few lines of "A writer's purpose". It has the correct syllable count and is presented nicely.

Comment from R Lakshmi prabha
Yes! A writer is the one who imparts insight. A good choice of subject and a perfect illustration. There was a great ruler who ruled many parts of south India. In his court there were eight poets who were called Ashta Diggajas. In Indian scriptures Ashta Diggajas mean the eight mythical elephants which bear the weight of The Earth. The ruler's name was Sri Krishna Devaraya who was a good poet and he honored poets. Poets were considered to be the real rulers of the world in those days.

Hello!
I am so honored by your exceptional rating and thoughtful review. I so enjoyed reading of the Ashta Diggajas and Sri Krishna Devaraya. Not of their calibre, but I do love writing.
Thank you again!

Your entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest is spot on!! Each of our words builds insight and leads the reader into a train of thought they might not have gone down on their own. Well said in such a few words.
